Five federal programs for arts, humanities and library projects. The records say they fund secular work, not worship.
The records limit these programs to secular projects. NEH Collections Stewardship lists church archives as eligible for preservation, not religious activity. NEH Public Humanities lists secular humanities projects, and congregations with historic archives or buildings can partner. NEA Grants for Arts Projects lists non-religious arts programming only, and congregations with community arts programs can qualify. For worship and music funding, see the worship and arts page.
The directory
Filters help discovery, not eligibility. “Dated deadline” does not confirm an open application. Imported records need team review; see evidence coverage.
